In 2014, award-winning Parisian architect sat down with CORE’s CEO, Shaun Osher to share his inspirations and secrets and which infuse his created spaces with innovative qualities that are a unique expression of his vision relative to each project’s location and also express his own cultural roots.

Last month, Fox Business’ Deirdre Bolton interviewed Manhattan’s #1 go to person for clear and unfiltered real estate data, Jonathan Miller, President and CEO of Miller Samuel, Inc. a top appraisal and consulting firm. The questions on everyone’s lips today: Are developers building too many luxury homes and super-luxury condominiums in New York? Is there enough demand to meet the supply, and why have we not seen any significant new construction that serves the $3,000,000 or under market in Manhattan for years?

Jonathan does a fantastic job of answering these questions in this video. For a high net worth client considering a new development I recently completed a study of same unit re-sales in some of Manhattan’s top buildings built since 2006. Which buildings saw huge equity growth and which saw little, surprised me. I will share more on that in a future post.

The uber luxury condominium being developed in New York, 432 Park Avenue, topped out Friday at 1,396 feet high making it the tallest residential building in the Western Hemisphere. If you don’t include the 400+ foot high antenna on top of One World Trade Center, then the top floor is actually 28 feet higher* than One World Trade delivering breathtaking views to its future residents. For the high net worth individual, owning one of these amazing homeswith its promised luxurious finishes and views will set you back $17 to $80+ Million. Preview these incredible views – watch the video (below).

Historically, New York’s former top condominium buildings like Time Warner and 15 Central ParkWest delivered immense investment returns when first owners re-sold their homes. Looking for views and financial security? 432 Park stands out in the luxury home market for its iconic height and world renown location on Park Avenue.

To the thousands of New Yorkers and visitors who pass through Manhattan’s Grand Central Station, there is always a moment of silence and awe when they see the grandeur of it. For those who know that once it was doomed to be destroyed and even after it was saved, the walls and ceiling were dingy, the windows obscured by black paint from World War II, to see it today is breathtaking.

This short video by Above New York takes you into Grand Central’s secret rooms and is a reminder that behind the scenes in our great city, thousands toil unseen to make New York the wonderful home that it is for millions and the dream of many more.

An interview with Michael Stern, one of the key developers behind the now renown super-luxury Chelsea development, Walker Tower, which broke price records and paved the way for even more high-end developments downtown. His newest luxury development, Stella Tower has been selling extremely fast in Hell’s Kitchen. CURBED published the floor plans for the yet to be released $14 million Penthouses a week ago. Stella Tower is being marketed by Douglas Elliman. To me, the rapid transformation of fringe neighborhoods into luxury enclaves like West Chelsea and the continued development of Hell’s Kitchen is truly an incredible New York real estate story. While some lament the past, I lived in Hell’s Kitchen in the early 1990’s and one certainly had to watch one’s back walking home at night. Not any more. New York continues to transform as it always has. – NYS Disclosure

While we all love luxury real estate and New York’s high-end stores and restaurants and many of us are fortunate to experience this luxury level of living, each day as we wake, go to work, have fun, watch a show, there are 8 million other people in this great city of ours who are “Keeping it Real”. Like all of us, they go about their days doing their job and making a difference.

Every week I have the fortune of going in and out of luxury homes and buildings. In between I may be in my Uber or a Taxi or if traffic is a bear, the subway. When I pause to look up from my phone, there are people everywhere – from all nations and cultures around me.

It is the people of New York which makes New York so amazing and gives it its unique energy and style. People come here many times for a new life. With hope from all walks of life and all nations they come here – we come here to make a difference. It’s what inspires me each day – if I can make a positive difference in my clients’ lives and help them realize their real estate dreams, then I can feel I was able to give them the gift of moving into the next chapter of their lives smoothly, and with confidence.

New York inspires me every day to be better, to grow and to give back. So here’s my debut of New York Fridays – A tribute to this great city, its people and places. It may be a moment to share a photo, a video, a story of someone I’ve met that week. Or perhaps you may want to share your photo or story? This 2 minute video clip made me smile with joy – for it reminded me of how I fell in love with New York in 1985, on a visit from college to the city for an interview. As I walked out of Grand Central the buzz of the city and its people caught me by surprise. I never looked back. I hope this video will make you smile and fill your Friday with joy. It has mine.
